2 star hotels in Otsu

The room had a wonderfully calming Japanese-style interior. The lobby also maintained a strong Japanese aesthetic, making it the kind of hotel where you'd want to stay another night.

The hot tub on the first floor was a hit with kids, and the breakfast was a perfect Japanese meal. It also offered an experience of Japanese tatami culture. The price wasn't the best value, but overall it was acceptable.

Incredible! Large bathtub and spacious ryokan-style room!

The location is close to the station, and the facilities are clean. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The bedding was clean, and the breakfast was surprisingly good, with a decent selection. I'll definitely stay here again.

Very nice house, well maintained. Excellent value for money for Kyoto. Good central location close to transport to the main sites!

Very comfortable tatami, clean, free hot spring. I like it very much. It takes a long time to walk after getting off the subway. There is no subway station nearby. Other than that, it is very good.

Good place and location , a lot of technological innovations which is pretty cool

If you want to make international friends and are into the backpacker vibe, this is the place for you. Very clean. Polite staff. Able to store luggage before check in. Location is right in the middle of the tourist district. Sometimes the elevator was very slow to pick you up if a busy time. My capsule room had a rip in the screen which let light in. Of course, the nature of this hotel is you are close...

Overall great experience at the Millenials Kyoto. When you arrive there is a possibility to leave your luggage before check-in. The bed is quite comfortable, the bathroom could be a bit cleaner -＞dust falling from the A.C fan… The service is impeccable (there is even unlimited cofee/hot chocolate… available all day long) Breakfast could have more fresh pastries (they where taken out of the plastic...

Hotels in Kyoto are really expensive during autumn leaf season, so this place is a great value for solo travelers. They provide slippers and towels, and the shared bathrooms are very clean and modern. The showers are spacious, and the staff are friendly. It's a bit of a walk to the subway on the main street, but very convenient for buses. Everyone staying here is quite quiet. The only downside is the...

The location is perfect with nice environment. The staff is friendly. Excellent place for people doing digital nomad

This capsule hotel was a great experience ! The capsule itself was big, the bed was comfortable. The common area had a nice vibe with people chilling all around. Very good location! I would definitely like to come back :)

Excellent service and a fantastic location! It's surrounded by a bustling commercial street, making it incredibly convenient for getting around.

Great location with basic amenities. Good for tourist. Well recommended and situated in a good location Laundry facilities can be improved by having paid laundry and the machine being lockable. Had laundry taken out inconsiderate users when it’s not finished yet

The location is great! The wifi was problematic though...we ended up using our own sim cards. Facilties are a bit old, especially the heating. There's only 4 settings, not like an aircon remote. But otherwise beds are comfy and there was sufficient space for luggages.

Old hotel with an entrance right at the station. Living on lower floors guarantees vibration from the trains and sound from the street. Location itself is great and price is adequate for the location.

The location couldn't be better. It's super convenient for visiting Arashiyama, Uji, and other places. Downstairs, you'll find popular shopping spots like Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, and Takashimaya is right across the street.

The Kyoto Central Hotel boasts an excellent location, right by the Hankyu station exit. The facilities are a bit dated, and you don't need a key card for power, but there are very few outlets. I booked a single room with a single bed but was given a standard room, which was a bit confusing. Living in the city center has its clear pros and cons: it's next to a subway station, making it convenient to...

My boyfriend and I stayed here 4 nights two months ago for our anniversary. We couldn't have dreamt of a better "home" in Kyoto, especially after reading 'In Praise of Shadows'. The suite was to die for: beautiful decoration, comfortable futons, an amazing heating system... What I loved the most, however, was the shared bath tub! And it's worth mentioning how helpful and kind Hazuki-san is, we couldn...

Couldn't have found a better place in the heart of Kyoto. The owner is amazing and very helpful for everything, location is perfect for exploring on foot. Highly recommend this ryokan for your stay in the city.

This was the perfect place to stay for our four nights in Kyoto. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to many dining options and sites, but also close to public transportation if you need to go further. The building itself is historic and beautiful and the owner is helpful and friendly. When I asked about shipping our bags ahead he said to just leave them in our room with an estimate...

This is such a beautiful inn! We were looked after so well and had such a comfortable stay. The bath is also excellent.

The property, rooms, and bathing room were beautiful. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and we’re able to give great recommendations. I’d definitely stay here again.

Excellent communication, excellent staff, great location.

Really good location here. Really good location here. relax

Clean, quite and convenient. A very good place to stay a while.

The hotel is located right outside the Otsu Station ticket gates. Entering the property is through the attached bar and restaurant. Most of the nearby restaurants seem to close around 11pm. There are no cooking utensils, but you can bring your own food and drink in the common areas. There are also pots and water dispensers, so we were able to eat cup ramen inside the hotel.

Excellent establishment, the staff are very pleasant and everything is very clean.

I used it last time, and the location, directly connected to the station, is very convenient. The showers, powder rooms, and other facilities are spacious and clean, making it a pleasant experience. I'd like to use it again.

Excellent location, right at the station. Check in 16h00. No wifi offered. Hotel access via public restaurant - feels weird to walk between diners to go out / return. Lockers far too narrow even for airline carry-on. Bathroom is clean, shower has small dry area, and water pressure varies. Capsules are spacious with power socket, lights, shelf, etc. The mattress is a few cm thick piece of soft foam...

I'm happy to be able to drink soft drinks for free. I also appreciate that there is a WaterServer on each floor.

Very small hotel. Not suitable for taking children.

The hotel is about 100 meters away from the subway exit, as long as you find the right exit. The room is not too small. The front desk is from Southeast Asia and the service is no problem. The room is really not too small, and there is also a leg massager. It is within walking distance to scenic spots and shopping. All kinds of food in the surrounding area can satisfy you.

Breakfast is average, not many choices. The hotel staff are very polite.

It was clean and good for the price. I had a free time and didn't have to worry about laughing. The front desk staff was also kind and happy. Sightseeing is easy and convenient. Recommended!

The hotel is very close to the subway station. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Zhuyuan, Yasaka Shrine and Kamogawa. The hotel room is relatively large in Kyoto. The hotel environment is clean and soundproofed, and the service staff are very friendly. The room is equipped with a leg and foot massager, which can help relieve the fatigue of daily travel, which is great!

New hotel with a clean, spacious room and everything you need. The area is nice and quiet at night, so I slept really well. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Staff was friendly and polite. Room is clean and comfortable. Location is a strong point as the hotel is very central and within walking distance to temples and shopping district.

For this price, the value for money is really good. However, they don't offer room cleaning, but they do provide towel changes. There's a free coffee machine on the first floor. The location on Huajian Road is also very convenient. Overall, the size of the room is perfectly fine for one person. Recommended!

Fantastic hotel. Great location, super helpful employees (who called a bike rental place for us), and good lobby with tea and coffee. There is no breakfast available, but we ususally got breakfast at a convenience store and ate it in the lobby. I would book here again.

Nice hotel and very well positioned! The receptionists are always happy to help you and generally they always speak English! PS. They also sell the fragrance you can smell in the hotel, this is very nice!!

The hotel is so good and we love the location! Thank you so much for this experience

Everything was great, except the doors were quite heavy so they made a sound whenever we had to key in the room code. t

Extremely friendly staff! Very nice stay in beautiful Kyoto. Very accessible to all kinds of places!

The place is clean, including a very functional and well kept kitchen.   Very helpful staff, she facilitated my early checkout outside her working hourly, Thank you do much.

I was traveling alone this time, and couldn't find a hotel during a busy holiday period. This hostel exceeded my expectations; it was incredibly clean and tidy, and had all the facilities needed. The ground floor is a bistro where you can have brunch or drinks, and it has a great atmosphere. The location is also excellent, very close to Shijo Ohashi Bridge and Kamo River. Takashimaya for shopping and...

It's okay. It's my second time staying here. I think it's the same room. It's a 1-minute walk to Slo and 5 minutes to Suba.Kyoto. So I highly recommend it. It's very close to the river and the price is reasonable.

Great location with plenty to explore nearby. The restaurant/bar downstairs is very comfortable and the service is good. I'd definitely stay here again. Hotel guests get discount coupons for the bar downstairs – highly recommended for those who like a modern aesthetic with a touch of natural wood.

This was better then we expected. Really nice location, close to the old town (walking distance), but still quite. Some of our favorites restaurants where from the street next to the hotel.

Small but convenient and quiet and comfortable Nice location in Gion, close to noteworthy points both at night and during the day Very good value for money overall

The room was rather small; with two large suitcases open, space had to be cleverly utilized. Room cleaning was done at fixed times, every other day, but towels were changed and trash disposed of daily upon request. The room seemed well soundproofed; I heard very little noise during my four-night stay. The hotel is located in a small alley; the road in front is a 17-minute walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple...

I thought the location would be a bit off-putting, considering it's a bit far from Kyoto Station, but it's also close to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and there were more restaurants and attractions nearby than I expected! The facilities were nice, and most importantly, the staff were friendly!

I was staying alone, so there was no need for an extra bed. The room was spacious enough for one person, and could even accommodate two people with luggage. However, you need to pick up your own toothbrush and toothpaste from a designated area when you go upstairs, as there are none in the bathroom. The best thing about this place is its proximity to Gion-Shijo (within 10 minutes) and Kiyomizu-dera...

Clean, the front desk staff is friendly and amiable, the location is close to Kiyomizu Temple, the toilet is big enough, there are water dispensers, ice machines and ice buckets for guests to use, the only drawback is that there is no cleaning service (you need to pay extra)

Very people oriented. Like the concept of tbis hotel and the service was prompt & excellent. Stays 2 nights & enjoyed night photography of Hokan-ji Temple.

Everything was great but we had internet issues. All the staff were excellent in customer service most especially Scion from Myanmar.

Amazing location, staff were excellent, cleanly and lots of space. Wish we could have stayed longer! 10/10.

Very nice hotel, prime location, staff was amazing !! Would most certainly stay at this location next visit

Hidden gem. In the heart of it all.. what a great location. All the hotels in the surrounding area are extremely over priced with less of a view. This hotel is amazing with affordable prices. They exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again. Only thing is that the hotel should have one more than one employee at the hotel at a time. We had 6 big luggage's and the unfortunate sweet girl...

Perfect location with a stunning view of the pagoda right from the window. It was a great experience. They also offer coffee and toast for breakfast. Everything was wonderful — stylish interior and plenty of space, which is rare for hotels in Japan

Location, staff friendly, comfortable, beautiful interior, nice facilities

best capsule hotel/hostel i've stayed in, period also, great free coffee

Budget friendly homestay. Please note that there's will be tax before check in. It's Kyoto city accommodation tax. 200¥ per night per pax. Overall we very satisfied with our stay. Worth the price. There's 7 Eleven 1-2 minutes walking distance. There's bus stop 5 minutes walking distance. Nearest subway entrance 8-10 minutes. They provide hanger but not enough hanging spot. You can wash your clothes...

The room was clean, spacious for 2 people, well equipped with basic necessities for a short stay. There is a convenience store nearby, and the bus and train stations weren't too far away either.

We stayed at a discount! It was nice to be clean.

We booked again, different room. This one was better than the last. No complaints besides a noisy heater unit(not noisy on low)

A nice airbnb. Very modern and located very good inside Kyōto.

The room for two is great, I can open my 28” suitcase. This is very rare in Japan. Also, it’s very quite. I had a good time there.

I went there for lunch. It was a fine day, and the location was great. I was able to enjoy a relaxing meal in a calm atmosphere. All the dishes were seasoned to bring out the flavor of the ingredients, and the meat was tender and filling. It was a great menu that made me feel like it was autumn. I would definitely come back.

This was the last night of my trip to Lake Biwa with my high school classmates. If you call the hotel before taking the train or after arriving at Karasaki Station, there's a shuttle bus service (check the website for schedules). I checked beforehand and it seems to be a KKR-affiliated hotel. Upon arrival, my first impression was, "The selection of shops is amazing!" They have everything from Lake...

The hotel is well located, right on the shores of Lake Biwa

The hotel is well located, right on the shores of Lake Biwa

This was my second time using the facility. I felt comfortable there the last time, but it was difficult to get a reservation, so I finally managed to get one this time. Just like last time, the staff were very friendly, and the dinner and breakfast were delicious, so I was very satisfied. However, when I asked the front desk if I wanted to use the facility over the New Year holidays, I was told that...

Great place. The needs were super comfortable. I woke up feeling great every day. Well-managed. Clean, good communication, and helpful.

Recommended. The location is quiet and the environment is clean. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. Overall, the stay was comfortable and suitable for travelers looking for a peaceful place to rest. The heated toilet seat was a nice touch, especially during cold weather. Additional note: The nearest FamilyMart further ahead (the first one in the middle) is not recommended, as one...

The location is convenient and in a quiet street and in a normal Japanese street (with apartments, a school and a few restaurants). The rooms are nice and the staff is helpful. You can escape the crowds of Kyoto when staying here.

very nice, confortable, close to the river and train station.

Staff is very kind, and the included amenities are also surprisingly nice! The bed included a body pillow. Part of the Kyoto Go To Travel campaign, so it was 40% off with coupons, ultimately a very pleasant stay.

There are many restaurants 2 minutes away from the accommodation. Steakhouse. Amazon Teahouse. Ramen House. Sandwich cafe. Homemade breakfast. Bakery and curry shop. All excellent. Two konbini. Kiyomizu in front of the house. Gion Kawaramachi. Convenient to anywhere. Fare 15,000 won Notification a day in advance All room amenities are provided. McDonald's nearby. Eat on the 2nd floor. Now, if you eat...

Great place to stay. You know the rooms are small before you book but they make them super comfy with everything you could possibly need and more. Plus the bathroom is really nice and they give you a small breakfast everyday too. The location is amazing, quite but just of the main road and near the metro. I’d stay here again. We are digital nomads so literally have our life in a suitcase and we can...

Yes the rooms are small but very nice, youve everything, minibar included and a nice bathroom. 2 complementary water, breakfast and a small breakfast-to-go with yogurt. Direct to the city center. For ~40€ you cant stay better in Kyoto/Japan!

Tabiya Hotel is a chic and very modern property that is conveniently located in the heart of Kyoto. Foreign travelers should know that the rooms are very, very, very small. Two people will struggle moving around their suitcases to get to the toilet or to the door. Short stays of one or two nights when you are planning to not be in the room for extended periods would be recommended for those passing...

Chic modern style hotel with new amenities. Yes the rooms are small, the bed is literally the widest thing in the room but if you treat it as just a place to sleep then it's great. Shower is the best I've experienced anywhere. Location is awesome, just off the main drag and staff are friendly and speak basic english. Though breakfast is not included, they are nice enough to provide yoghurt and a muffin...

Rooms are very small, but nice and clean. The shower is very nice and comfortable. The water in the minibar is free. They don't speak too much english. Breakfast very poor (two small breads and a yogurt).

This Best Delight Group hotel is located in Otsu City. It's a super-hot area with three hotels from the group. This time, I stayed in Room 203. There was ample space and a water server. The sink and toilet seat were in the same space, but the bathtub was separate. Because the bathtub was broken (it wouldn't fill with hot water), I received a 10% discount. It seems there were several other rooms with...

Thank you for letting me stay multiple nights. I stayed here for multiple nights. It feels a little old, but it was a very comfortable stay! The staff were also kind and welcoming, so I felt at ease!

When I order food, I wish they would stop handing it to me. I wish they would bring it to me at the door or inside. Please fix the water and shower faucet. And the jacuzzi too. The service is good, but I wish they would fix that one thing.

I thought the staff were very helpful. I had a very pleasant stay. Thank you for your help.

A right laugh The complemtary bath salt was a nice touch and the snacks. We had alot of fun and alot of laughs here.

I climbed the nearby rock climbing gym until 10:30 PM, and when I couldn't get an Uber and was about to miss the last bus, I asked the restaurant owner for help. Thanks to her, I finally managed to hail a taxi back to the station. That was amazing!

Ok. First of all leave your expectations at home expecting hotel level service. Once you've done that if you want a cheap but clean place to stay this is it. This is a seinenkan - a facility for youth and youth-related organizations to conduct independent study and recreational activities, many of which have basic accommodation facilities but higher grade facilities than youth hostels. They are located...

It's like a training center facility. The staff are very friendly. Toilet The bathroom is separate from the room.

Everything was super nice! Clean, safe, kind and calm.

Clean, the dormitory of 4 was connected to the private bathroom and shower. Easily, by far, the best experience in Japan of 3 hostels. And the best part is the staff members, everyone has been so welcoming and showed kindness. Totally recommend! Also the Japanese breakfast was very very good.

people were nice and i took one beautiful picture ^_^

Super cozy the owner is amazing

The inn is clean and comfortable, with convenient transportation. They offer free breakfast and fruit. It's very close to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the National Museum. The owner is super nice, and I'd definitely come back if I have the chance!

Free breakfast was enough, including a lot of fruits and bread and yogurt and coffee and milk and so on.

The room, Seiran, overlooked a Japanese garden, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Those who appreciate traditional Japanese houses will find this a truly satisfying experience. Breakfast, enjoyed amidst the beautiful garden views, was a perfect way to start the day. The hostess was incredibly kind and attentive; I'll definitely bring friends back next time.

The small town of Otsu is a place I really love. It's quiet, not crowded with tourists, and right next to Lake Biwa. The tea room in the common area is beautiful, with a small garden, and the public bathroom is very clean. The only downside is that the all-wooden townhouses have almost no sound insulation, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who have trouble sleeping.

Inase is a really amazing and beautiful place. If you're looking for peace after spending time in Kyoto or other big cities, it's the best place to get a rest. Staff is very polite and friendly, breakfast is delicious, and the garden inside is beautiful. We had some troubles with the luggage, but they helped us to deal with it, so grateful for that. This place is 10/10. Don't hesitate and just book...

Clean, friendly, comfort and convenient location!

This is a Japanese-style B&B with a great atmosphere. It is said that it was a granary a hundred years ago and was later converted into a B&B. The floor makes a creaking sound when you step on it. I had a fantasy in my mind about whether the black coal balls described by Hayao Miyazaki would appear in the same way. I walked around barefoot, without a speck of dust. Very clean and tidy

The homestay has done a great job in every detail. There are two places that left a particularly deep impression on me. The first picture is a hot water bottle stuffed into the bed. In fact, the air conditioner was set to over 20 degrees in advance, which was already very warm. Sometimes, a little bit of excessive service can really touch people's hearts. The fourth picture shows the organic lemons...

The staff were friendly, spoke fluent English, and check-in was quick. The room was fully equipped, the washing machine even had laundry beads, and the bathroom had a dryer and plenty of clothespins – very thoughtful touches. Staying here for a marathon was very convenient, as it's close to the finish line and registration venue.

The room size is amazing for the price! Love the water pressure and small but great to have balcony. The beds were also very comfortable.

Perfect, basically own spacious apartment with hotel service. We stayed for 5 nights, 3 day clean up. You can always for extra amenities, Superb location.

This was one of our favorite stays in Japan. Our room was clean, organized and a great size! The beds were super comfy and we had great sleeps. The area is quiet and is close to a quaint river. We used their luggage delivery service as we arrived in Kyoto before check in. Their office is about a 5 minute walk from Kyoto station, and you can drop your luggage off and they will deliver it to your hotel...

Lovely hotel with a good location. Loved the size of the room and having a washer dryer in the room was AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥

The location is truly excellent — the metro is just 1 minute away, several bus lines are nearby, and it’s easy to walk to most central attractions. The room itself was spacious, though the furniture felt a bit dated. The washing machine was very handy during our 11-day stay, and the air conditioning worked well. The kitchen, however, was only minimally stocked. A real highlight was the Customer Service...
